"This?" Confucius was so focused that he didn't know what to say?

He didn't know how well Fang Zhong's fief was managed? And what about Fei Yi after Fang Zhong took over?

Inside, he doesn't believe it. Because! How long has Fang Zhong been in charge of Feiyi, that is, after the failure of the three capitals last year, and now this year, it is only a few months, even if it is an immortal, it will not be able to change the atmosphere and style of a place.

As for Fang Zhong's fiefdom, if it is said to be well governed, it still has a certain degree of credibility. Because! How many years did Fang Zhong operate in his fiefdom. Fang Zhong's fief should have been divided among him during the Ji Pingzi period, and after so many years of operation, it is credible that there have been changes.

"Don't believe me, do you?" Fang Zhong asked.

"How do you govern?" Confucius asked.

"I taught them to look after each other!" Fang Zhong looked at Confucius and said with a smile.

"To each of them?"

"To each his own!"

"To each his own! Hahaha......" Ji Huanzi also smiled.

Confucius glanced at the two of them and lowered his head.

He was angry in his heart, but he couldn't get angry. He saw that Fang Zhong had a serious face, but he was actually playing tricks on him. And Ji Huanzi! Directly confronted him with a look of teasing him.

I thought: How many years have I been a coward? You guys? You disrespect me like that?

The frustration in my heart is beyond words.

"I taught them to look after each other! I told them! If others don't care about you, you don't care about others! When others help you, you help others. Even if it's your own parents, siblings, or children's descendants......"

"You?" Confucius said angrily: "Have you educated others like this? ”

"Isn't that the reality of society?" Fang Zhong asked rhetorically: "Do you educate others like this?" Teach others to love each other, help each other, and be tolerant! The word 'loyalty' is also! Disloyal! Be loyal to your superiors, loyal to the facts, and loyal! Faithful. Forgive! Forgive! Give others time to repent. Are you taking others for fools? Why should you treat others well when others treat you badly? ……”

"That's not what I meant!"

"And what do you mean?"

"I mean, I won't explain it to you for a while. I'm just your enlightenment teacher, I didn't teach you college knowledge......"

Fang Zhong interrupted: "Don't tell me so much! Mr! I'm telling you! To sum up, your doctrine and thinking are from the perspective of managers to talk about governing society, not from the perspective of human nature. You take everyone else for fools, you are wise, so! It takes you, the wise, to manage those fools.

You demand that all other people's behavior should be in line with social management, thinking that in this way you will be able to rule the world. So! You ask others to be 'faithful and forgiving,' and it's all for the sake of ease of management. And me! We Taoists talk about how to govern society from the perspective of individual people, human nature, and survival.

If others don't help me, why should I tolerate others and help others? Isn't it? Why should I forgive others when they have framed me and are not good for me at every turn? If you don't retaliate against others, you give others forgiveness, you are tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain and letting others frame you next time. Are you educating others as fools? Only fools believe you.

If others are good to me, I will be good to others. If others help me, I have to help others, this is human nature.

If people want to survive and live well in this world, they don't need you to teach, they all know unity. Because! One person's abilities are limited, so it is necessary to form a team. Do you need to teach this? Mr. Confucius? You take people for fools, don't you? Do you need to teach that too?

The invasion of the nomads from the north is coming, and the people who live in the north don't know how to run? This also requires you, Mr. Confucius, to teach them: Hey! The Hu people from the north are coming, you hurry up?

Do you think that those who live in the north are fools, waiting for others to come and rob them of their harvest, of their beautiful daughters and wives? The daughter of their family? Kill their baby?

Although I have never been to the northern border, I can imagine that people who live in the north have their own ways of circumventing it. If they don't have a way to circumvent it, will they dare to continue to live on the border? Isn't it? Haven't you run away yet? Isn't it?

Furthermore! It's not like you think, everyone doesn't interact with each other. From the perspective of human nature, if others don't care about me, I don't care about others. This is an undeniable fact, you have to be someone else's not like this, you have to take care of others, then either you treat others as fools, or you yourself are fools......"

Fang Zhong copied what he heard from Lao Tzu to Confucius and Ji Huanzi. And then! Then explain what a state is and the origin of a state.

The combination of people and people forms the world.

The union of man and woman, the formation of a family, and the birth of children. And then! Children are married to form new families, and the families of future generations are combined to form families.

People are the base of society, and the combination of people forms society. The family is the base of the family, and the families of the descendants are combined to form the family.

It is the instinct of human nature to take care of each other, and it is the instinct of survival. Forming a family and giving birth is also an instinct to survive. The strength of men and women is greater, and the number of children increases after birth. You don't need to be taught by others, you know how to do it.

If a man is dissatisfied with a woman or a woman is not in love with a man, he cannot form a family and have children. Now that they are combined, they become grasshoppers on a rope, and they must unite as one. You don't need to be taught.

Exactly because of this! Fools and villains have a hard time finding objects.

And as a father and mother, it is impossible not to pity his children and descendants. Because! This is also the instinct of human nature, and parents and elders love their children and descendants. You don't need to be taught. As far as animals and birds are concerned, they all know how to protect children, let alone people?

As the descendants of their children, they are willing to take care of their parents and elders. Because! Without our fathers and parents, without the love of our elders, where do we come from to live and where can we grow up? So! Take care of your own parents and elders, and you don't need others to teach them. Unless! You grew up in a loveless family, and you were an orphan from a young age.

For people like animals, no matter how much you teach them to honor their elders, they will not necessarily obey them. So! People who have no humanity, you teach them and forgive them is a waste of saliva.

For Taoists, when they encounter this kind of parents, elders or descendants who only care about themselves, they directly treat them as strangers and ignore them. If they seriously affect our survival, they will directly regard them as enemies.

In fact! No matter how forgiving and tolerant Confucianism is, the result is the same. It's just that! The Taoist approach is a bit more straightforward.

The various organizations, groups and family relations in the state and society are of the same nature and are able to protect the survival of the people, then! I will confess that this is my country! How can you not protect the survival of the people, how can you make me admit it?

So! If you educate others from the perspective and position of the state, you are imposing.

Only from the perspective of humanity can you protect your people to survive and be free, and the people will recognize you as my country. When the country was in danger, the people voluntarily and spontaneously organized themselves to resist the Japanese!

Long live the people!

You force me to accept your thoughts, to forgive others, to tolerate others, to be honest with others, etc., and you take me for a fool? Or are you yourself a fool? I can't tell whether others are good to me or malicious to me, so I'm really a fool.
